You'll probably want to check out ports of plan9 stuff, as it's all
about versioning filesystem stuff.
A quick package search on debian yields:
Package: pdumpfs
Description: a daily backup system similar to Plan9's dumpfs
pdumpfs is a simple daily backup system similar to Plan9's dumpfs which
preserves every daily snapshot. pdumpfs is written in Ruby.
You can access the past snapshots at any time for retrieving a certain day's
file. Let's backup your home directory with pdumpfs!
If you're not fond of a ruby userspace app, you can also look into
running a 9fs client and server on your local machine. IIRC, there is a
port of 9fs to Linux as userspace apps.
Good luck, and please report results to the list if you find anything
workable :)
